The A-1 was the top-of-the-line A-series camera. (The AE-1 was the first in this series.) It was a sophisticated electronic camera with all-digital control.
Besides the shutter speed-priority AE and aperture-priority AE modes, it features the first fully automatic program AE mode, preset aperture-priority AE, and Speedlite AE mode.
